Odyssey 15.72–74
Menelaus to Telemachus before his departure
ἶσόν τοι κακόν ἐσθʼ, ὅς τʼ οὐκ ἐθέλοντα νέεσθαι
ξεῖνον ἐποτρύνει καὶ ὃς ἐσσύμενον κατερύκει.
χρὴ ξεῖνον παρεόντα φιλεῖν, ἐθέλοντα δὲ πέμπειν.
It is equally wrong to hurry a guest who does not wish to leave
and to hold back one who is eager to go.
A host should care for the guest who stays and send on the one who wishes to leave.
